  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

SMR 510 catalytic converter?

Hi.

Crashed my SMR 450 yesterday. Mentally disabled BMW driver turned in front of me with no indicator. Apparently I did a front flip and slammed head first on the windshield. Anyway, I've already set my mind on a SMR 510 (2008). The bike has an Arrow full exhaust system. But from what I've read about these 2008 models is that you cannot remove the catalytic converter.
The seller mentions that he has the "original" exhaust also but isn't the Arrow one the original?
Where should I look for the cat? Is it in the muffler?

On the TE's the cat is in the mid pipe. SMR will probably be the same.

Here somewhere? The bike has just the Arrow muffler but original header/midpipe. Do I need to cut the exhaust with an angle grinder to see it?

Found this:

"I have been operating with this understanding:
The 2008 stock OEM has a cat inside the exhaust muffler- it is also welded at least my buddy's is.
The 2008 Arrow Power Up, does not but I don't know that it is identical to the 09/10.
The 2008 exhaust has reportedly failed to fit the 09/10 midpipe and mounting points to to a slight variance in bend.
The 09/10 xhaust has a removable cat in the midpipe."

Maby when the previous owner changed the arrow silencer, it removed the cat completely:thinking:
 
Most remove the cat after purchase to free the bike up and dissipate heat amongst other jobs such as air filter and charcoal filter removals etc.

Correct. The factory can on the 08’s was in the pipe itself. The arrow was the power up kit without the cat. If you were able to locate a mid pipe from an 09’ and up, 09’ exhaust will work on an 08’. The 08’ is the oddball being that it was the first year of fuel injection( different injection on 09’s and up) and first year of having the exhaust on the left side.
